Vanessa Holmes - Jazz Technique

Vanessa Holmes has been dancing since the age of 5 and is proud to be an alumni of the Company Program at BDC.  During her time as a competitive student, Vanessa enjoyed performing in both Canada and the USA.  It was during this time that she fostered her lifelong enthusiasm for all things BDC!  Her commitment to her dance family has resulted in Vanessa  wearing many hats at The Burlington Dance Company;  office administrator, private coach, Dancing Tots faculty, and most recently, Competitive Choreographer for both hip hop and jazz which included leading BDC’s first all boys group to great success on the competitive circuit. In 2021, Vanessa also conceived, created and directed BDC’s first ever hip hop crew ‘The League’ in their inaugural season.  In addition to BDC, Vanessa enjoyed contributing to the Brock Dance Competitive Team, teaching jazz, lyrical and modern.  As a teacher, she has been recognized for outstanding achievement in Choreography, Performance and Creative Concepts.  She is thrilled to be back in the classroom with the dancers at BDC and looks forward to training the next generation of BDC superstars!
